Goodbye

  

Look!  I see a face in that cloud, look, look...do you see it?
Ennei minie minei mo, red light green light…. He Loves
Me, he loves me not.  One day Sister there's a chance
He might.

 Brown eyes, and blue, both are seen when I saw you.
It will be awhile now, my heart waiting too.
Stormy, wind and laughter toss a witness to our time.
Playing tag, and teasing boys, you with a voice like mine.

Tap and hear the beat and tell me,…do you know
The song?  Oh, still my mind... for needing your
Love, for love is never gone.

 I will see you forever in my mind mending, for I
Carry you… with me, even when I clear my throat.
Time wasn't all to clear, not knowing your time
Was near. We carried on our dreams and let them
Pass each another by, leaving only my breath to sigh.

I didn't need a reason to have it go on and on.
Today, I saw you as I passed the glass, in the
Morning sun… 

I gulp a pain down in my throat...your gone.
 

I wanted to tell you, I will look for you, my only
Other.
I will hold and comfort, the arms that held you, for
Our Mother.
 

I will go where you've gone, and still the journeys stay too long,
Seeing your smiling eyes and I will sing a song,
And you will dance with Angels surrounding our march for
Two.
 

Peace Joan , the sky will light my way, showing me to you.

  The day I look for you as I enter Home.
No more tears, no more years, to roam.
  

 The mourning in the air of yesterdays, we shared
Our tears and promises with dreaming,
All along the future weaving.

The time was yours to enter this place, we would
Whisper where the path it must postpone.
 How I love you Joan.
People thought me a showcase, and you shy,
It was also Me that hide, only to say
Goodbye.

 Goodbye to all the waves, and kisses, goodbye
To each day that misses your laugh, and
Glowing face, until that day I will survive only by
Our Fathers loving Grace.
